On Friday night (August 30th) Hip-Hop icon Fatman Scoop was rushed to the hospital after collapsing during a performance. The incident occurred at The Green and Gold Party summer concert at Town Center Park in Hamden, Connecticut. According to reports, CPR was administered on-site during the medical emergency before he was taken to the hospital. There is currently no update on his condition. Hamden Mayor Lauren Garrett has asked the public to “please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.”

Fatman Scoop, born Isaac Freeman III, is renowned for his powerful voice and dynamic presence as a hype man. At 53, he gained widespread recognition with his 1999 hit single “Be Faithful,” featuring the Crooklyn Clan.
He also featured on Missy Elliott‘s hit “Lose Control,” alongside Ciara, which won a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video and was nominated for Best Rap Song. Scoop’s energetic ad-libs can also be heard on Mariah Carey‘s “It’s Like That.”

 

Additionally, Fatman Scoop’s voice is featured on the remix of Faith Evans‘ “Love Like This,” a staple in club and radio mixes.
